Fire Response Vehicle Identifier Stickers

To assist authorities identify vehicles which can assist DFES in bushfire response, DFES and the Shire encourages owners of such vehicles or machinery to apply for a Fire Response Vehicle Identifier windscreen sticker. The stickers are designed to enable passage of approved vehicles through the vehicle control points (road blocks) where approved by the Incident Controller. Appliances or machinery without a Vehicle Identifier sticker may be delayed or prevented from assisting in the response.

Stickers are issued under a number of conditions including:

the Fire Response Vehicle Identifier is for the purpose of fire response;

when the vehicle is no longer used as a fire response vehicle (e.g. when sold) the identifier will be removed;

compliance with the Road Traffic Act 1974;

identifier can be revoked by an Incident Controller or authorised person at any time;

appropriate Personal Protective Equipment and Clothing will be worn at all times;

the driver will ensure that the vehicle’s presence at an incident is recorded on both arrival and departure;
